Trump Amplifies $325 Million SpaceX Stock Gift to Children’s Accounts
Trump shares a screenshot touting a SpaceX stock donation from Gwynne Shotwell to the Invest America program, valued at $325 million for more than two million children.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump promoted a $325 million stock gift tied to his signature children’s savings program, sharing a screenshot that credited a SpaceX executive with donating company shares to accounts bearing his name.
The post amplified a claim from Katie Miller, a former administration aide, who wrote that shares pledged by Gwynne Shotwell, the president and chief operating officer of SpaceX, carried that valuation at current stock prices. The embedded message from Shotwell described gifting a share of her SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across the country.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Text visible in the screenshot: Katie Miller (@KatieMiller): Subscribe. At the current value of @SpaceX stock the gift from Gwynne and her husband is valued at $325 million. Gwynne Shotwell@Gwynne_Shotwell. My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation.

In the last 30 days, 10 of 442 Trump posts have addressed his business and personal brand.
The Invest America program, marketed as Trump Accounts, seeds tax-advantaged savings accounts for American children under 18. Trump rang the opening bell for the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq, Inc.during an event to launch the accounts on July 6, 2026, in the Oval Office. The Shotwell pledge, if executed at the scale described, would rank among the largest private contributions attached to the initiative since its debut.
The stakes fall on families of the more than two million children named in the pledge, who would receive a fractional stake in one of the most valuable privately held companies in the United States. SpaceX shares do not trade on public exchanges, so the $325 million figure reflects Miller’s characterization rather than a market-verified price. The gift would benefit the program’s political standing while binding a marquee corporate name to accounts carrying the president’s brand.

For the average American reader, the development signals how a federal savings vehicle now draws corporate donations that could compound over a child’s early years. Parents of eligible children stand to see accounts opened in their names, though the value of any donated shares remains tied to private valuations that families cannot readily convert to cash.
This is not the first time Trump has used his own feed to spotlight private communications and endorsements. He shared text messages purportedly from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte over his Greenland stance in January 2026, according to forbes.com. The Élysée Palace declined to confirm the message’s veracity at the time, according to forbes.com.
The next move rests with SpaceX and the account administrators who would formalize the share transfers. A date for completing the described gift has not been announced.
Corporate patronage of American children’s welfare has surfaced before. Andrew Carnegie, the steel magnate who sold his company for $480 million in 1901, funneled a fortune into more than 2,500 public libraries that served young readers for generations. John D. Rockefeller, whose Standard Group PLC empire made him the nation’s first billionaire, established a foundation in 1913 that funded education and public health for decades. Those industrialists cemented legacies that outlasted their businesses, tying their names to institutions that millions of children later used.
